First-year playbook for Borzoi puppy parents
Borzoi puppies are long-legged aristocrats with sighthound honesty. Your growth chart belongs with soft-surface exercise, never-trust-off-leash realism, and training that respects independence.
After the projection
Borzoi grow tall before they look filled out; adolescent ranginess is common. Read the projection as a trend across weeks, not one picky week.
Rib visibility can be normal on some individuals; your veterinarian confirms healthy sighthound versus underweight.
Weight can climb when sprint outlets drop but bowls and training treats stay full.
- Weigh every 2 to 3 weeks on the same scale.
- Monthly photos from above; coat season changes the outline.
- Log treats; independence does not mean they skip calories.
- Non-weight-bearing limp is urgent.
Reading growth on a Borzoi
Long coat changes silhouette seasonally; hands-on rib checks monthly stay honest.
They can seem aloof; motivation, patience, and fair pay rates beat nagging.
Cold tolerance is better than heat; summer planning matters—water, shade, shorter outings.
- Measure food by weight; lean dogs still gain on portion creep.
- Recall on long line for life; off-leash near roads or loose wildlife is gambling.
- Soft bedding; bony dogs feel hard floors.
- Dental disease is common; tolerance training early pays off for life.
What changes month to month
Puppyhood is not one stage. It is a stack of different problems and wins. Use this like a timeline, not a rigid rulebook.
- Phase 18 to 12 weeks: leggy baby
Routine, gentle handling, calm exposure.
- Crate and potty rhythm.
- Handling for nails and mouth with food.
- Socialization at easy distances.
- Indoor recall games.
- Limit reckless jumping while bones mature.
- Phase 23 to 6 months: coordination
Leash and recall foundations.
- Reward check-ins.
- Long line work when appropriate.
- Continue stable-dog greetings.
- Short reps, many rounds daily.
- Introduce coat care gently.
- Phase 36 to 18 months: teenage Borzoi
Channel speed safely.
- Safe zoom space on soft footing.
- Never off-leash near traffic or loose wildlife.
- Watch weight as growth slows.
- Mental games daily.
- Heat planning every outing.
- Phase 418 to 36 months: slow maturity
Adult body finishes late.
- Exercise duration and surface choice per veterinary guidance; soft footing still matters for tall athletes.
- Keep measuring meals; picky phases do not cancel treat creep.
- Continue recall practice for life—trust is built in reps.
- Discuss cardiac auscultation timing with your vet if recommended.
- Maintain coat care and dental routine; comfort affects willingness to move.
Start with these for your Borzoi
We picked these products to help you take better care of your dog day to day, from a more comfortable place to sleep to safer walks, easier feeding, and the right setup at home. Each category is narrowed to options that are highly rated and make sense for your dog's size and stage.
Daily care
Feeding, exercise, training, home setup, and prevention. Each block is written for people who just checked their puppy’s weight curve.
Feeding Borzoi puppies
Your veterinarian may recommend large-breed style puppy feeding if appropriate for steady growth.
Measured meals make training honest.
Some individuals are picky; keep routines calm. Transition foods over ~7 days unless your vet directs otherwise.
- Cap daily treat budget; log training jackpots.
- Discuss raised bowl versus floor with your vet if eating speed or bloat risk worries you.
- Discuss large-meal timing and bloat awareness as your deep-chested dog matures.
Exercise and surfaces
Short bursts plus sniff walks beat slick-floor chaos.
Soft grass beats slick tile sprints while young.
End before exhaustion or frantic panting.
- Leash outside unless fully secured; speed plus independence is risky.
- Carry water on warm outings.
- Stop if limping or if the next day is sore.
Training sighthound brains
Motivate with cooperation; pressure often triggers shutdown.
Socialization includes novel surfaces and sounds at tolerable levels.
Teach mat settle so the house has a down-regulation cue.
- Calm sits before doors open; bolting rehearses fast.
- Muzzle conditioning with positive methods only if your team recommends safer handling.
- Early help if fear, sound sensitivity, or reactivity appears.
Home comfort
Thick soft beds; tall dogs feel cold hard floors.
Fence integrity; Borzoi assess height calmly.
- Rotate enrichment—calm chews, scent games.
- Gates when unsupervised.
- Kid rules: no cornering; give space and predictable approach.
Preventive care
Cardiac and bloat education matter long term; your vet personalizes timing and protocols.
Parasite control should match your region and open-land exposure.
Dental routines early; tolerance training beats wrestling later.
- Weight log at visits.
- Video limping, collapse, or exercise intolerance.
- Breeder screening notes on file.
When to call your veterinarian
If you are unsure, call your veterinarian, especially with puppies. This list is not complete and does not cover every situation. It is a general reminder of signs many clinics want to hear about.
- Collapse during or after exercise.
- Non-weight-bearing lameness or severe pain.
- Bloat signs: painful swollen belly, unproductive retching, restless pacing; emergency.
- Severe vomiting or diarrhea with lethargy.
- Eye injury, squinting, or sudden vision change.
- Heat distress—distress panting, vomiting; emergency.

Breed history
Where Borzoi come from
Borzoi, or Russian Wolfhounds, were developed by Russian nobility for coursing wolves across open steppe, selecting for speed, reach, and a calm house temperament between hunts.
They are sighthounds first; prey drive is history, not a personality flaw.
Modern Borzoi are quiet companions; underestimating chase instinct creates tragedies near traffic.
How the Borzoi calculator works
1
It uses age and current weight
The calculator uses your puppy's current age and weight to estimate adult size. Because puppies grow fastest early on and then slow down as they mature, the estimate adjusts for the stage of growth your Borzoi is in.
2
It compares against typical breed growth
Borzois are usually close to full size by around 18 months. As your puppy gets older and more of its growth is already complete, the estimate usually becomes more reliable.
3
It checks the estimate against the usual range
Most adult Borzois fall within a typical weight range of 60-105 lbs. You can use the calculator for younger puppies, but estimates are usually more accurate after about 12 weeks.
